Are Mens Fragrances hurting or helping you?

By Arthur Scott

Recently I became obsessed with fragrances for men, not in a strange lock me up kind of way of course, I was just looking in to the wider subject of changes in mens designer fashion and general grooming.
Now, please tell me you're not one of those "men’s men" who stink to high heaven just because you refuse to adopt even the most basic hygiene habits? I'm talking about men who think deodorant and cologne are the French equivalent of soap and water and should be bathed in regularly. Are you wearing them right now? If your answer is an emphatic NO, then I suggest you have a rethink, don't you want to smell nice? Do you really want to be that someone who causes noses to curl up and eyes to water where ever they go? Stop it right now! Slap on some cologne! There is nothing effeminate about using a drop of cologne, actually if you don’t over do it, the women really love it. So get yourself down to the fragrance section of the local department store, who knows while you are there you might like to pick up some skin care products too?
So, what do you know about fragrance for men? I have to say that I do know a little, in fact, I've been wearing cologne for well over a decade. Not just eau de toilette spray, but aftershave, body spray and a number of other fragrances as well. Don't get me wrong; I wasn't wearing them all at once or bathing in them like our ‘mans man’. The key thing to remember is everything in moderation. I have noticed that many men avoid mens fragrance altogether, simply because they assume that they're not ‘manly’. This is not so, gents. As I have said women love it when a man splashes on some aftershave or mists on a fine body spray. Just like the same as you like it when she wears a nice perfume. So, first of all, out with the old caveman complex about not smelling nice. It's time to join the real world. With the vast array of fragrances available now days, you can surely find one that suits you. However, just because you purchase a high-end cologne, doesn't mean you should go mad and start drenching yourself in it. Remember - moderation. A spry or two of a fine eau de toilette cologne should do the trick. If you can smell yourself all day long imagine how you smell to everyone else!
Are you in the market for a wonderful fragrance? There are a plethora of scent enhancers online. As a rule it's wise to venture out to the local department store for some routine sniffing first. This way you can separate the fragrances you love, from the ones you can't stand. Why not find that ideal scent that your lady will go mad for? Better still take her with along with you and she can be a part of your evolution.
